DOSBOX ignores F11/F12 from 101 keyborad and does not pass them to DOS applications. The attached patch(bios_keyboard.cpp) will return F11/F12 keys to DOS applications.

If you need F11/F12(and ctrl/shift/alt+them), I think it will be helpful.

If this is a patch for DOSBox, it should be moved to the PATCHES section.

Sorry. I have no posting access to patches section .

New file uploaded. Four more keys('/','*','+' and '-' on keypad) will be received by DOS applications.

Small one-off patches are even better kept on the sourceforge patches page. No need for a patch thread when it's more or less a simple bugfix.

Thank you. I get your point.

But only posting bugs/patches/fixes here enables more people to test and discuss, and more tests, better stability. In fact I have learned a lot from replies.

Yeah, it's fine announcing/discussing a patch here. My point is, keeping the patch itself on sourceforge helps those who want to collect useful patches into a custom build or those whose name is QBix and want to commit the patch to CVS 😉
